"THE WATERBURY."
The Waterbury Watch is not a jewelled all - over- patent- half-cock-go-as-you-please - hair-trigger-chronograph. It is. a strong, handsome, weil-finished, nickelplated, reliable timekeeper for 13s 6d..
Why shoiild I give £5 or £10 for a watch that has .to fee perpetually undergoing repairs., and at the best of times ; cannot. be relied on, when I. can buy; a perfectly, reliable, strong, and handsome Waterbury, Watch for 13s 6d?

Waterbury (price 13s 6d) is a simple but reliable timekeeper, do not be eulledinto buying any other nickel watch on the assurance that it is equal ito a Waterbury. The Waterbury principle is a patent, an.d cannot be imitated : Many % cheap " metalwatches are offered from ss, each to as- many pounds, ■ whicb are. not worth picking jup in the street.
